Actually you are confirming my hypothesis. Heat exchangers are supposed to be cool. If you are hot and poor water on on side of your body and compare the temperatures of both sides you will notice that after evaporation the one half acting as a heat exchanger is cooler.

The penis IS designed to stay cooler because (back to what I was saying on page 3) sperm production is optimal at lower-than-core body temperature. It's just that there's no exchange between the penis and anything else

For the sake of making this a bit more scientific (as opposed to something subjective and tactile), I tried researching online for any information I could find on details about 'thermoregulation'. Many of the websites say regulation of heat is carried out through the behavior of capillaries, but point out that it's presence is in regions of the body with more blood flow. The penis is a vascular organ, but it's blood flow is minimal for the majority of the time--- I'm assuming this (among other things) is because constant increased circulation would raise the temperature of that region. It certainly increases during vasodilation (which happens during an erection), and vasodilation is a key behavior of cells as they exchange heat. There's nothing to efficiently circulate the cooled blood/fluid from there to other parts of the body.

Also - Conceptually, it seems a bit counter-productive to evolve the trait in such a low region of the body. The heat exchangers for the elephant is located towards the top of its body.

BTW - I'm suprised nobody else has related to my 'cold wiener' story LOL - I kinda figured all men will have experienced this pain at some point during their lives.
 
People have different sized penises because that's the way God wanted it. Case closed.

I do not know if it was posted already, but there's some extent of data indicating that a meaningful difference in penis size relative to race is a myth:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrinkage_(slang)#Race_and_penis_size

I think that it could "drift" a little bit though, of course.

its not a myth its true with statistics. black and white people have the biggest penises, and asian people have the smallest.

there are many exceptions to the rule, like black guys with tiny penises and asian men with huge ones, but in general statistics show that black guys have the largest then white guys then asian guys,

i dont mind admitting this truth because my penis is very large anyway. thats why i have a black wife. :D

peace.

Uh huh everyones penis on the internet is large! :rolleyes:

The men in Scandinavia have on average a smaller penis than people from Africa. We assume for the sake of argument that penis length is genetically determined although no scientific studies have identified the genetic regulators of penis length. Why would there be a size difference.

Scandinavian women do appreciate the longer penis. The theory that there has been sexual selection towards a smaller penis in Scandinavian countries therefore becomes implausible.

Evolution often works in strange ways. Here we propose a different theory on the size difference of the human penis.

The penis is a well vascularized organ. In this way it differs to a degree from other primate penises. The penis is not only well vascularized the blood flow to the penis can also be regulated. This can only mean one thing. The penis is a heat exchanger!

A comparable organ is the ear of the African elephant. It is well vascularized and has a large surface area. It is used to dissipate heat. The male penis is not only used for reproductive means, it is also a heat exchanger in the hot climate of Africa where humans emerged. A dual function of organs is not uncommon in the animal kingdom. The ears of the elephant are still used to hear.

When humans moved to Europe they finally ended up in cold Scandinavia. A large penis was evolutionary detrimental to survival. It dissipated too much heat. It shrank to reduce the surface area.

And that my friends is the truth and nothing but the truth so help me Darwin.

National Geographic shows a lot of naked Africans...I have never seen anything massive enough to comment on, nor did my year and a half pilgrimage in the jungles of Papua New Guinea yield much to comment on either. But I tell you, in public showers and community bathrooms in the good old USA you can encounter some massive black peni. :bawl:

All humor aside, as the following is quite sad, I think that the size differential in blacks versus whites could be a result of the "breeding" of black slaves that took place during the slave days (and you can find this history documented). The criteria by which blacks were bred was to yield physically superior offspring that would have more strength and stamina in labor fields. This genetic selection, (facillitated by the largest peni = better chances of impregnation) could be the result of the genetic phenomenon we see today.

It should also be noted that breeding has taken place in other parts of the world for the same reason due to the same situation.

I'm not sure anyone has actually made the adequate research. Pretty much of what I've read on the wikipedia article that could point to these differences are somewhat like anecdotal evidence or can have alternative explanations (condom breakage is expected if its not wore properly, for example, and slippage could be caused by partial erection)

I also think that the absolute size differences usually related have to do with the fact that asian men are also (I think) shorter overall. Would be surprising (and weird) that the penis size remained constant despite of body height differences. But correcting for that, I think that the variation in size within populations would probably be higher than that between populations.

Not that it couldn't have racial patterns too. I think that these would be the result of random drift, though. No matter how big it is, does not seems to be a very meaningful heat dissipator... and alternatively, or even more likely, it would have became thicker in cold climates. An alternative explanation would be sexual selection, with ideas like the fact that in colder climates the penis is more likely to be covered more time so it can "shrink" a bit over the generations, but I find hard to believe that it would be meaningful in terms of "ontological economy", avoiding injuries and etc. Would be more likely that in climates and places where the penis is more usually exposed it could be sexually selected if bigger... but I think that it would predict the penis to be a lot bigger than it possibly could be, or at least racial differences in penis size would be beyond reasonable doubt, every place with "nudist" tribes would be expected to be the main source of actors of the adult movie (specially gay, I think) industry...

I think animals actually tend to have smaller penises than humans do, although mostly in terms of relation to body size. It's interesting to note that Homo sapiens sapiens has the largest penis among the Great Apes both in relation to body size and in absolute terms.

I had an intelligent reply, but my browser crashed. Something about the difficulty of collecting data on penis size. I believe my conclusion was that I'd like samcdkey to measure my penis while she wore a labcoat 2 sizes to small, nothing but lingerie on underneath. One of those brassieres that would have her ample bosom practically bursting out. Yeah....
